What is Interpersonal Violence?Interpersonal violence includes physical, sexual, emotional, economic or psychological
actions or threat of actions that a reasonable person in similar circumstances and with similar identities

Sexual Assault Facts:* Alcohol is the most common “date rape” drug.* Sexual assault is the least reported violent crime, with estimated reporting rates
at 28-40 percent.* Rape victims are 3 times more likely to suffer depression, 13 times more likely to
abuse alcohol and 26 times more likely to abuse drugs.* Only about 2 percent of sexual assault accusations reported to police are false.
This is the same rate of false reporting as other types of violent crimes.
